Iran began arrangements on Monday to move the world’s largest oil fleet. This coincides with reports of American acquiescence amid the widening scope of the global crisis.

Bloomberg agency published satellite images it said were of a fleet of Iranian oil tankers. The images show approximately 24 ships anchored near Kharg Island, which is the center of Iranian oil exports.

This large oil fleet movement comes amid Iranian news of American acquiescence.

Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted a source close to the Iranian negotiating delegation as confirming that Washington has agreed to a new text including the lifting of oil sanctions during the negotiations.

Pakistan is currently hosting a new round of indirect negotiations between Iran and America, as the Pakistani Interior Minister continues his visit to Tehran, extended for a third day.

Washington’s decision to agree to lift oil sanctions comes amid escalating international concern over a crisis due to dwindling stocks.

The International Energy Agency issued a warning that countries have only two weeks’ worth of oil stockpiles left, confirming that stocks are depleted while approximately two and a half million barrels per day are being pumped into the market.

The majority of the world’s countries have been forced to draw from strategic reserves in an attempt to avoid the repercussions of exploding oil prices, which have continued to rise crazily in recent weeks.

The most prominent of these countries is the United States, where oil prices have jumped by 50% since the start of the war, according to the American Automobile Association.

It is noteworthy that the United States had targeted ships entering and leaving Iranian ports while announcing a wide blockade on Hormuz, given its failure to control it militarily.

The UAE revealed on Monday the behind-the-scenes of the recent attack on its largest nuclear energy plant.

This comes amid controversy over the executing party after the UAE Ministry of Defense disclosed it was launched from Saudi Arabia.

Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The UAE President’s Advisor for Political Affairs, Anwar Gargash, renewed his indirect accusation of Saudi Arabia for being behind the attack.

Gargash indicated in a tweet on his official social media page that the aim of the recent attack was to “paralyze the UAE’s arm” and undermine its vision, success, and message, which he said inspires the region’s peoples with security, stability, development, and prosperity.

Gargash’s tweet was seen as an indirect reference to Saudi Arabia, which is engaged in a fierce race with his country to lead the scene in the region, particularly in the economic sphere.

This is the first time since the war on Iran began last February that the UAE has blamed a country other than Iran for attacks, after consistently accusing Tehran of attacks against it.

The UAE possesses a long coastline parallel to the Iranian coast, separated only by a few miles. However, according to the UAE Ministry of Defense, the recent attack came from the western border, which connects the UAE with Saudi Arabia.

The new attack targeted the Barakah nuclear plant in the city of Al Dhafra.

Saudi Arabia summoned further Pakistani reinforcements on Monday amid escalating tension with its smaller ally.

Reuters news agency quoted sources as saying that Pakistan has deployed new forces in Saudi Arabia for the second time.

The new forces include approximately 8,000 soldiers, in addition to an integrated air defense system and a squadron of fighter jets.

Earlier last month, Pakistan had deployed a Chinese defense system in Saudi Arabia.

The summoning of Pakistani reinforcements comes amid escalating tension in the Gulf despite the state of détente in Iran.

Earlier today, the Saudi Ministry of Defense announced the interception of a new attack carried out by 3 drones.

Although Saudi Arabia indicated that the attack came from Iraq, its timing sparked divergent comments among social media users, especially as it came just hours after the UAE announced a similar attack from the direction of the Saudi border, carried out by 3 drones, one of which struck the Barakah nuclear plant in the city of Al Dhafra, adjacent to Saudi Arabia.

Although the two regimes are trying to avoid public disagreements, their relationship has been experiencing its worst phase since the beginning of the year, particularly after Saudi Arabia bombed Emirati military vehicles in the port of Mukalla in eastern Yemen, coinciding with a campaign to uproot UAE factions in the south.

The addition of 8,000 Pakistani soldiers to previous forces indicates, according to experts, that Saudi Arabia is arranging a ground invasion rather than a defensive mission.

It is noteworthy that Pakistan recently entered into a crisis with the UAE following the latter’s decision to deport thousands and loot their property, in addition to its refusal to renew a deposit for Islamabad and its insistence on repaying it.

The capital, Sana’a, in the statement of the marches “In Support of the Quran and Al-Aqsa and Solidarity with Lebanon,” renewed its affirmation of standing with the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, declared its full solidarity with Hezbollah, praised its “painful” stances towards the Zionist entity, and announced “full readiness” towards any new escalation targeted by America and Israel against the region and the Islamic nation.

Sana’a – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The statement, issued after the million-man marches in Sabeen Square in Sana’a, contained a severe condemnation of the “repeated abuses of the Holy Quran and the Zionists’ desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque,” affirming that “we will not remain silent about the renewed abuses and the ongoing Zionist campaigns in all their forms.” The statement called on Muslims to “confront the Zionist scheme and its hostile campaigns against our nation and its enmity towards Islam, the Quran, and the Prophet.”

The statement affirmed “the steadfastness of the Quranic, religious, and moral position supporting Gaza, and working to liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque and every inch of Palestinian land,” offering condolences and congratulations to the mujahideen of the Al-Qassam Brigades for “the martyrdom of the mujahid leader Izz El-Din Al-Haddad.” It also stressed “standing with the Palestinian prisoners languishing in Jewish prisons,” renewed “full solidarity with Hezbollah,” and praised “its painful stances towards the entity.”

The statement concluded by affirming “full readiness for any developments or new escalation by America and Israel targeting the region and the Islamic nation,” a clear message that Yemen will not be isolated from any upcoming confrontation.

The leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, announced in a speech on Monday that Yemen is “ready, God willing, for all developments” at the military level, stressing that “the solution for the nation is not in evading responsibility or in implementing what the enemies dictate, but in moving within the framework of the correct position that God has guided to and provided a guarantee for with victory.”

Sana’a – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

Al-Houthi affirmed: “At the military level, we are ready, God willing, for all developments,” adding: “We are steadfast in our clear principled positions that we have affirmed repeatedly and practically, and ready for any upcoming developments.”

He pointed out that “our people are moving in all fields and at all levels, as evident in their great presence in million-man marches and important public mobilization activities through training, qualification, and preparation.”

The leader of Ansar Allah affirmed that Yemen is moving “popularly and officially in all fields, within the framework of our sacred responsibilities, our Quranic awareness, and our faith-based belonging,” praising “the great and honorable faith-based renaissance that is befitting our great people, Yemen of faith, Yemen of wisdom and jihad.”
